yes lots of chemical sensitivities I never had before-have to be really careful with meds,can't tolerate alcohol,certain smells,foods,soaps.
Hi there, I have similar problems. My body changed and so I now have to be careful of any medications.
While it has been 2 and half years since I finished tx I still have these red splotches on the back of my neck.
They don't hurt but do remind me of the Incivek
Every day gets better and better
I had insomnia, swollen face and muscle weakness. Horrible.
I have noticed that medications now have a different effect on my body. I also treated with Incivek. Even had a few drinks sometime after treatment and SVR and had adverse effect. My treatment experience had little effects on my skin. It wasn't till after treatment that I noticed my skin seemed different. I'm 2 years post treatment and didn't have very many side effect during treatment. You had a harder time. Just may take longer to get back to norm. Yes Incivek was a real walk on the wild side.
Best to you
This sounds like an allergic reaction to prednisone. You don't have Hepatitis C in less you were re- infected by someone with Hepatitis C.
Best to you
These are just a few of the side effects, plus the bad taste, bad smells I found some place else. I am trying to see what you can do to flush it beside water
Other side effects associated with corticosteroids like Prednisone
Fluid retention, edema
Insomnia
Irritability, nervousness, mood swings, mania, depression, psychosis
Disorientation, confusion
Hypertension
Loss of potassium
Headache
Dizziness, vertigo
Muscle weakness
Blood sugar elevation (diabetes)
Irregular menstrual cycles
Swollen face
Hair growth (including on the face)
Itching, rash, hives
Increased susceptibility to infection
Hi again, just checking in on you. I really do not think you have relapsed. I do think the prednisone has stirred something up. You were probably right to stop taking if you were reacting like that.
Have you talked to your doctor? I would definitely call to tell them side effects. It has to be very scary to have same sides as when you were treating with the Incivek. That was a nightmare I would never want to go through again.
Hang in there, drink lots of fluids. I will try to find more
((HUGS))
Prednisone alters the immune system. So does INF therapy.

I don't think you can ever have a definitive answer to your question, but thank you for sharing the experience.
Hi there I just found this site that talks about side effects of prednisone
I hope this helps you

Hi there! While it is great to see you I am so very sorry for what you are going through. I think it is the prednisone that is causing you the side effects. I just looked it up and see that it can cause a bad taste in the mouth,feeling sick, anxiety.
I will find more info and come back. Again, so sorry.
Hang in there, Dee
I had to rethink and recheck my stats. It's been closer to 3 years that I have been undetectable. My side effects from prednisone have been anxiety, panic attacks, metal taste in mouth, sound intolerance, smell intolerance, communication disability, bladder infection feeling, rashes on vagina, even started a period like during tx, ( mentapause for 6 years) ...has anybody else had anything similar happen to them when given another drug regiment or am I alone on this one?
